Owner's Manual

WARNING! (Continued)
• The ABS cannot prevent the natural laws of phys-
ics from acting on the vehicle, nor can it increase
braking or steering efficiency beyond that af-
forded by the condition of the vehicle brakes and
tires or the traction afforded.
• The ABS cannot prevent accidents, including
those resulting from excessive speed in turns,
following another vehicle too closely, or hydro-
planing. Only a safe, attentive, and skillful driver
can prevent accidents.
• The capabilities of an ABS equipped vehicle must
never be exploited in a reckless or dangerous
manner, which could jeopardize the user’s safety
or the safety of others.
All vehicle wheels and tires must be the same size and
type and tires must be properly inflated to produce
accurate signals for the computer.
Anti-Lock Brake Light
The Anti-Lock Brake Light monitors the ABS.
The light will come on when the ignition
switch is turned to the ON position and may
stay on for as long as four seconds.
If the Anti-Lock Brake Light remains on or comes on
while driving, it indicates that the Anti-Lock portion of
the brake system is not functioning and that service is
required. However, the conventional brake system will
continue to operate normally if the Brake System Warn-
ing Light is not on.
If the Anti-Lock Brake Light is on, the brake system
should be serviced as soon as possible to restore the
benefits of Anti-Lock brakes. If the Anti-Lock Brake Light
does not come on when the ignition switch is turned to
the ON position, have the light repaired as soon as
possible.
